# BrowserShield: Antifingerprinting script for Pale Moon#
BrowserShield is a simple javascript userscript for Pale Moon and Pale Moon forks that helps you to prevent websites from fingerprinting your browser. Protect yourself against surveillance!

__This extension only works in Pale Moon, since Firefox implemented a "feature"
that prevents this script from spoofing stuff. If you're using Firefox,
use [this extension](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/)__

This userscript doesn't spoof HTTP headers. It just spoofs some javascript properties, so please use the Pale Moon's about:config menu if you want to spoof HTTP headers.

## Installation ##

1. Install [greasemonkey for Pale Moon](https://github.com/janekptacijarabaci/greasemonkey/releases/tag/3.31.4Fork).
2. Click [here](https://notabug.org/nokoru/browser-shield/raw/master/browser-shield.user.js).
3. If you want to test the script, just go to any website, open the developer console and type `navigator.platform`. It should be `Win32` by default. You can customize the fake properties by editing the user script.

## How BrowserShield works ##
BrowserShield is a spoofer. It fakes some "read-only" data, so tracking websites won't know your actual operating system and web browser. By default, this script makes you look like a typical Chrome user on Windows 10, and the processor number is randomized every time you reload a website, so you'll be more anonymous and less identifiable. You can change this fake data by editing the script. It's not hard :D

## Credits ##
I (nokoru) wrote this script some months ago to improve my git skills.

I'll probably won't update this script, since I don't use Pale Moon anymore, but it may be useful for someone else.
